Well it happened today.. I got the Axe?

5 Years of loyal service, a heart attack that went horribly because there was a lapse in the company insurance (the hospital is trying to sue me for 31k) and today I got the Notice they're closing the central New York Office.


I'm 42, My savings have gone to shite..I cashed my 401k over the summer after the heart attack to make ends meet and now I am on my own in 8 weeks...





Why is this in politics?





The reason the company offered for closing my office is a simple one. Upstate NY is no longer a profitable area for business. between long winters High Tax's and a mass exodus over the last few years the new policy Numbers don't equal the incoming claims.. thus they are abandoning the region. In the note it hints that there may be the possibility for a transfer to another state either out west or down south.. but there is no further information and it suggests that I should stay up on the company 'online bulletin board" for updates.





WTF? ...Welcome to America eh?|||It's a wonder the memo doesn't say your job has been taken to China or Honduras.


Thats what we were told and they even showed us a video of the slaves that took our jobs and how badly they needed them.





It's not a republican or democrat thing. It's globalization and seems that both sides are selling us out. Trickle down economics from the republicans and NAFTA from the democrats. I feel your frustration because I have been through it too.


Globalization isn't working for America plain and simple. The good news is Bush plans to extend your unemployment benefits for another 26 weeks. Good Luck.|||Welcome to Republican economics. Hidden high taxes, recessions, layoffs, they're all the norm.|||Your company position of the $ is the main reason Americans won't get national health insurance. By the way, their excuse for moving is strictly profit motivated, as it is cheaper to have one office %26amp; use the internet.|||Sorry.


Get your resume out to the competitors, quickly.


Take walks to increase your endorphins.


It's a difficult time, for everyone.


I'm assuming the question is "what do I do now?"





I would consider picking up the left over accounts, personally, or through a new business.


Good luck.|||Lots of Businesses are leaving the People's Republic of New York.


Don't come to NE Ohio the Dems are killing us here too.


Take a transfer,go west or south.
